China's Smog is So Bad that Hotels Now Give Guests Gas Masks

It's no secret that China is choking on smog, but the problem has become so bad recently that hotels have started issuing guests with gas masks to use during their stay.

Redditor Mthomaseddy posted this picture of an elegantly packaged gas mask, which was sat in his room when he arrived at the Shanghai Fairmont. It is, apparently, an air-filter mask, rather than something to use in gas attacks. Reassuring!
